Esox

I think you hit the nail on the head. My wife and I are using the debt snowball method and I just payed off one of our debts in full yesterday.

It may not have been the largest debt or the one with the highest interest rate but it's one thing I don't have to worry about now. It's one fewer company I have to deal with monthly. It instills a sense of hope that "we can do this!" that I'm hoping will bolster our budgeting and help us tackle the larger debts.

Web Developer; building (or trying to) a roguelike in my spare time.

I've done a bit of hiring and, to add to what others have said, I would leave it out. I have had some CVs cross my desk in which the author had taken some liberties with more casual phrasing and they were generally poorly received by the entire interview team.

To be honest, it doesn't really add anything of value and you're banking on someone understanding the reference (I didn't at first) and getting a laugh out of it.

For the small amount of value it could add you're taking too much of a risk of evoking a negative reaction.

This is very true.

I recently left a position as a developer where I may have been considered irreplaceable by some. I had worked with some systems and websites for so long I became a fixture of this organization.

When opportunities and change were presented to me from higher-ups in my organization my direct supervisors took it upon themselves to do everything in their power to prevent it. It wasn't pretty, there was plenty of drama, guilt, and even some underhandedness. Needless to say I found a new position ASAP.

In my new position I'm replaceable. I believe that if I left today someone could take my place relatively easily. However, I'm much happier and it's refreshing to feel like I have mobility in my career again.

I waste time on Reddit during the work day or when I know I should be doing other things. I don't necessarily consider it wasting time as I've found that diverting my attention to something unrelated to what I'm working on from time to time helps my mind to focus in the long run.

Reddit is easy to access and provides a steady stream of diversions that are just a click away. I think for some this becomes too much and they need to find a means to break the cycle of "This task I need to do is hard, I'll Reddit instead, that's easy and rewarding".

I've had to take a break from Reddit in the past because I was becoming disappointed in how I used my free-time. I never got further on any of my projects or hobbies—I just browsed Reddit on my phone.

When I'm at work I try to limit my Reddit consumption to mostly text-based or programming related subs. This way I don't endlessly fill my mind with memes, fun pictures, comics, etc and my browsing doesn't go from beneficial-diversion to procrastination-catalyst.
